Overview

The LeddarTM M16 Sensor Module is an advanced solid-state LiDAR that combines 16 independent active elements into a single sensor, resulting in rapid, continuous and accurate detection and ranging—including lateral discrimination—in the entire wide beam, without any moving parts. The Leddar M16 can be easily integrated into almost any application to add sensing intelligence capability, enabling developers and integrators to make the most of this cutting-edge technology while leveraging its unmatched flexibility.

Choosing Your Configuration

The M16 modules are available in two main configuration types: the classic LED family and the new Laser family.

The M16-LED is the proven Leddar workhorse that our clients have come to value for its versatility and reliability. This module’s infrared LED light source provides wide-beam illumination at ranges up to 100 m and is offered in six different field-of-view configurations.

The new M16-LSR uses laser sources to achieve longer ranges, providing narrower and better-defined vertical FOV, —all in a smaller form factor.

Both M16 families are perfectly suited to outdoor operation, provided they are used within an enclosure: solid-state design with no motorized mechanisms, wide operating temperature ranges, all-weather performance and immunity to lighting variations–both day and night.

Integration and Interfaces

All M16 modules come with a software development kit, the Leddar Enabler SDK, which provides a user-friendly application programming interface (API) with C libraries, and code examples. Sample code for Windows and Linux are also provided.

Available interfaces for the M16 include: USB, RS-485, CANbus and UART. A 3.81 mm x 8-pin male header is provided for interfacing through a cable harness or terminal block. Also, a USB mini-B connector is provided for use with the Leddar Enabler SDK, and a 2 x 20, 0.050-inch header is provided for custom expansion. Specific information about interface requirements can be obtained by contacting one of our team specialists.
